Very nice performance by Hugh Bartlett here, well on his way to another good run. After a surprise win in the state of Alabama over Bag, he only lost the state of Idaho by a slim margin. Bartlett even broke 60% in Utah.

If there is any Republican who is in a reasonable position to do so wishes to switch, or there are any two Democrats out there want to participate but are not signed up, please contact me as soon as possible. Balanced teams, although not necessary, would make things easier.

Ok, post (or PM) the form that was originally posted by Jake here (second post).

If at all possible, please state whether the stance you are taking on each issue is left/center-left/center/center-right/right in addition (or instead of) the actual stance--makes things much easier when creating the characters.

Although it was refreshing to see the phrase "This is Goldwater Country" emblazoned across the top of the screen, it is sort of fitting that a candidate named Goldwater ended up performing the worst of all the Republican candidates electorally, losing Maine by 1.5% in the final week.

No, not even the voters of President Forever will vote that overwhelmingly for a near-centenarian and the Leadership of Ronald McDonald. Bag won Florida, Louisiana, Alaska, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Utah--but lost Wyoming.Reese can take some comfort in the fact that he still somehow managed to do better than Dan Ebowedddu.

Not surprisingly, Kramer lost Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. Similarly unsurprisingly, he lost Nevada. Populism just doesn't sell well in Sin City. Also came within four points of losing his home state... :eek:

(Note that this will not start for a couple days, while I work out the kinks in the system and we wait to see if a 15th Democrat comes along--if not, I'll just make up a decidedly mediocre Democrat to fill the spot [or just use Punching Bag again]).

The 30 players will be split into 5 groups with 6 players each, 3 Democrats and 3 Republicans.
